COWS OWNED BY LOCAL i FARMER HAVE HIGH TEST The 13-cow herd of registered Holstein-Frieaians owned by Leonard Hibschman, R. R„ Syracuse, has recently completed one year of production testing with the,average butterfat production per cow being more than two times as much as that of the nation’s average dairy cow, says The Holstein-Friesian Association of America. An average of 409 pounds of butterfat and 11,270 pounds of milk has been officially recorded. Milking was done two times daily. The highest producer in the herd was Uneeda Pabst Kit, a 2-year-old, which produced 533 pounds of butterfat and 11,500 pounds of milk. A registered rfolstein-Friesian cow in the herd has recently completed a 294-day production record of 429 pounds of butterfat and 12,113 pounds of milk. This is nearly 2% times the production of the average dairy cow in the nation. Her official name is Uneeda Posch De Koi Triune. She was milked two times daily and was three years, nine months of age when she began her test period. Testing was supervised by Purdue University. IN MEMORIAM This ours to miss you all our years, .

Recently he was an executive of the anti-saloon league, and was in Warsaw on business for that organization. On Sunday, Feb. 18, he spoke in Syracuse in the U. B. and the Evangelical churches.

The deceased left a wife and three children.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kroh and daughter, Susan Kroh, and Miss Jean Myers attended the capping exercises for the class of 1947, of the Methodist hospital, Indianapolis, last Friday evening. Miss Mary Jo Kroh is a member of the class of 96 girls who received caps and capes upon completion of the probationary period. The exercises were held in Robert’s Park church and included organ music ■and songs by the preclinical students choral club. An impressive and pretty ceremony was the lighting of small candles held in miniature lamps of knowledge. Each student carried one of these and lighted it from a large one held by the superintendent of the nursing school. They then filled the choir loft, the 96 candles giving enough light to illuminate that part of the church. This part of the service carried out the theme of the address, “Lighted Lamps,” given by Rev. Wm. C. Hartinger. Damage of SSO was sustained when an automobile driven by Leon White, Syracuse, ran into a car driven by Claude Harmon, R. 4, Warsaw, last Saturday night in Warsaw. White was in a string of cars southbound on Indiana street after the final basketball game and crashed into the car ahead of him when the line suddenly stopped. \ Miss Paralee Harvey, of Fort Wayne, spent last week-end here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

.SCHOOL NEWS. Chalk Lecture Dr. C. C. Denham, chalk lecturer, visited the Syracuse high school Monday afternoon and gave a very interesting talk. Dr. Denham comes from Pennsylvania, and has lectured in over 4,000 schools and to over one million pupils. The ill of smoking was thoroughly covered. He made many humorous sketches, as to the effect of the 19 poisons in cigarettes on an individual, and proved to be a very interesting lecturer. If anyone wishes to consult him, write C. C. Denham, Trust Fund, Postville, lowa. The Juniors Take Over This week the Juniors took upon their capable shoulders (or so we hope) the editing of the school news. The members of the staff are as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Lowell Poyser. Asso. Editor, Richard Bell. Feature Editor, Kay Stuckman. Sports, Lawrence Byrket. Proofreader, Donna Galloway. Typists, Betty Baumgartner and Ruth Bowman. The writing of the sports news and Mhe “Who’s Who” of the Seniors, is still claimed by Laddie Laughlin and Jeanne Myres, respectively, of the Senior class. Victorious Yellow Jackets Monday morning the winning of the sectional tourney was celebrated by the entire school. General assembly was called and speeches were in order. First on the unprepared program was a very humorous, yet inspiring speech by our principal, Mr. Slabaugh. Next, Miss Hamman suggested that our yell leaders, Mary Ann Stieglitz and Darlene Miller, should the entire assembly in yells. A regular pep session then took place. The yells really rang through the halls of S. H. S. Mr. Slabaugh had promised the students an .extra hour of celebration if we won the sectional tournament, and Mary Ann Stieglitz saw to it that he made his promise good. Mr. Beck and the team gave some very good speeches. Then the second team, faculty and a few students bestowed verbal praise and honor on these winners. Syracuse is realy proud of its team and school. We, the students, are very grateful for the honors and good reputation this great team has won for us. These next tourneys won’t be so easy, but we want those swell boys and our coach to know that we’ll be backing them all the way. Good luck!

TOURNEY NOTES The Syracuse Yellow Jackets took on the Tour strongest teams in the sectional at Warsaw, and soundly defeated each and every ope. (Even the Warsaw paper had to give credit to the locals). There just wasn’t another 'team in the tourney that’ could stand the fast pace set by Syracuse. The Jackets have a good, big five-man team—with no individual stars. We believe that any imparital All-County team would have names of Rapp, Weingart, Traster, Stieglitz and Hoopingarner, if a 10-man team was picked as is the usua. custom. In the coming regional at Ft. Wayne, Syracuse will meet Ft. Wayne North Side at 2:30. The winner of this game will meet the winner of the Cromwell-Auburn game, played at 1:30. The Ft. Wayne papers of course don’t give Syracuse a chance to win. According to the dailies, the Ft. Wayne school will win, with Auburn furnishing the main opposition. The Warsaw paper says Syracuse should win from Ft. Wayne, but indicates that Auburn will ’be the stumbling block. (This prediction, too, after Warsaw defeated Auburn in seasonal play, 47-46, and then was so badly outclassed by Syracuse.) We think ;he Jackets ' are in the ideal spc. to win that tourney Saturday. The “big town” boys always under-rate the smaller schools, and that is so with Ft. Wayne and Auburn this time. And the bigger they are, the harder they fall! Both of those teams can be defeated by Syracuse, just in the same manner that the Jackets took the sectional —by a hard, driving offense, a tight defense, and taking all those rebounds —and fighting every second! Jimtown, in winning the Elkhart sectional, did just that last week —and Elkhart was rated as one of the best in the state. We have seen plenty of state tourneys and this year’s Syracuse team CAN play ball with the best of them! A form of “stage-fright” is the only thing that can defeat the Jackets Saturday. The locals, of course, haven’t played the “big town” teams, and that is always a handicap. But, old-fashioned fighting spirit can easily overcome that drawback —and Syracuse has plenty of that. We woulc rather be the “under dog” any t;me, than the favorite —in a basketball game. If Syracuse yell leaders can get the crowd started, the locals will have most of them on “’our” side, and that can have plenty of effect on both teams —it can unnerve Ft. Wayne to find the crowd yelling against them in their own gym—and give Syracuse a more secure feeling. Don’t overlook this! There will be plenty of Syracuse rooters there —Cromwell will be there 100 percent —and Auburn will be out for a win—and all of them will be pulling for a Syracuse win over Ft. Wayne. Syracuse fans celebrated the sectional win here last Saturday night afte. the tourney by building a bonfire on the street up town and giving yells for all members of the team and Coach Beck. BETHANY Mr. and Mrs. Lester Hummel, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Worstler and family were guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Weybright. Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
